Should I Put Anime On My Activities?
Answered

I have 2 Instagram theme pages (I just repost content) based on anime that have garnered over 140k+ followers and an anime YT channel, where I just created compilations of anime clips, with 8k subscribers, and has gained over 10 million views. I was wondering whether or not I should include these in my activities. They will take up 2 activity slots and I don't really have much to replace them with.

Such activities look better in supplemental essays, but if you can describe the impact you were able to make through your YT / Instagram, you can definitely include it in the activities section. However, I think it makes a lot more sense to count this as one activity. Hope this helps!

If it's something you have invested much of your time on, I think it's worth on putting in the application.

I would put it, like who else had 140k+ followers on Instagram?
